A Cupcake Rosary for Our Lady

The following post was submitted by Adoro Te Catholic Home Educators. You can visit them on Facebook. The girls in The Little Women’s Hospitality Club did an amazing job creating this Cupcake Rosary for Our Lady!

Adoro Te Catholic Home Educators of Connecticut capped off their annual end-of-the-year May Crowning with a Rosary. A cupcake Rosary, that is. The 10-12 year old girls in The Little Women’s Hospitality Club (part of Catholic Children’s Clubs) baked dozens of fluffy “beads,” arranged the edible display, and served it to 100 hungry children and their moms.

Each cupcake was adorned with an image stamped in marshmallow fondant. The Hail Mary beads (standard-sized cupcakes) were baked in brown cupcake papers and stamped with a rose cookie mold from The Springerle Baker. The Our Father beads (baked in a Texas cupcake pan *) were stamped with a Greek cross surrounded by a Greek inscription that reads, “May the Blessings of the Lord be upon you.” We used a bread stamp from Prosphora Stamp Central.

*Baking tip: To ensure straight, even crowns on your Texas cupcakes, place one cupcake pan on top of the other. Spray both pans with cooking spray and fill one pan ¾ of the way with batter. Invert the second pan and place it evenly atop the filled pan for baking.

Stamping marshmallow toppers: Dust your work surface and the stamp with powdered sugar. Roll out the marshmallow fondant like you would cookie dough. Press the stamp into the fondant, cut out design with a circle cutter, and remove the topper before stamping the next section of fondant. Be sure to dust your stamp every time you stamp the dough.
Use frosting to attach the topper to the cake.

We give thee thanks, almighty God, for all your benefits, who livest and reignest forever and ever. Amen.

May the Lord grant us His peace. And life everlasting. Amen.

Alternate conclusion:And may the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen.
